Favorite thing to do in Denver? Denver is such a beautiful city with so much to do! I love attending Broncos, Rockies, and Nuggets games. I also love participating in the Denver Cruisers after Outlaws practice with captain, Haley Wolfe. My favorite restaurant is also in Denver, so I love grabbing a bite to eat while enjoying a sunny summer day.

Who is your role model and why? My role models are my parents. My parents are by far my strongest support system. Their love for each other, my brother and me is so fierce, and I am so honored and blessed to have them in my life. I do not know where I would be with out them. I love them so much!

What are your hobbies? My parents have a condo in Steamboat Springs, so I try to get up there as much as possible. Summers in Steamboat are my favorite and you can always find me tubing down the Yampa, attending free concerts at the base of Howlson Hill, relaxing in the Strawberry Parks natural hot springs, or chilling by the pool. In the winter I enjoy snowboarding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and good old fashion snow ball fights. Being a Junior at CU Boulder, I love hiking the beautiful Flat Irons with my friends and hanging out by the Boulder creek by Pearl Street.

One person you would like to have dinner with and why? I would have to say Lana Del Rey. I have so much respect for Lana because she is unlike any other artist I have seen. She is so cool and I could, and have, spent hours watching her music videos and listening to her music. Her voice and lyrics are so original and as an added bonus, she is absolutely gorgeous. I'm actually going to see her perform at Red Rocks this summer!

Not only is he incredibly handsome, he is undeniably talented in every music aspect, dance, comedy, and acting. Along with each of his talents, JT seems like a humble, down-to-earth guy that would initiate intriguing conversation over a dinner date. This man can do it all!

I really like to spend a lot of time outside whether it’s going skeet shooting, going to sporting events, running with my dog, or going boating and hiking!

One person for dinner:

If I could have dinner with one person, it would be my good friend Morgan who passed away in 2010. Even though we were the same age, she was such a good role model. I miss her lots, so it would be great to spend one more evening with her!

Favorite thing to do in Denver?

It’s hard to just pick one! I love all the outdoor activities Denver has offer, such as trail running, hiking, and even skiing (even though I’m not very good). The scenery is beautiful and the weather if fantastic. I also enjoy the amazing restaurant Denver has to offer.

Who is your role model and why?

My role model is a collection of the nurses I work with. I have been a nurse for a little under a year, and they have taught me so much about nursing that could never be explained in a textbook. They are smart, caring, beautiful, and A LOT of fun. It is truly a blessing to be able to learn from these nurses, and hopefully one day I will be like them.

What are your hobbies?

Besides dancing and dancing, I like to just be outside--whether it’s running, hiking, or attempted skiing, I’m in!

One person you would like to have dinner with and why?

I would like to have dinner with Ellen Degeneres. Not only is she hilarious, so we would hopefully just laugh through dinner (and maybe eat dessert), but she altruistically cares for other people. She is always doing kind things for other people who do not have the means, and she expects absolutely nothing in return. It would be beneficial if she could throw out a couple life-pointers as well.
